PRICKLES (S Ridler) – Contacted another runner
near the 650m and lost ground.

FRAYVILLE ( K Cross) – At the request of the
rider, the gelding underwent a veterinary examination behind the barriers and
was cleared to compete. Following the event the rider reported her mount felt
awkward in its action. A post race veterinary examination revealed the gelding
to be lame in the off fore and off hind. Trainer S Dodd was advised that he
must present a veterinary clearance and the gelding must barrier trial
satisfactorily prior to racing again. Trainer subsequently advised that the
gelding would be retired.

General – On inquiry it was established that
near the 650m PRICKLES (S Ridler) shifted out slightly and made contact with
the hind quarters of RYE (W Davis) and as a result PRICKLES had to be steadied
and lost ground.

OCTOMINT (P Crich) – Restrained from heels and
lost ground near the 900m. Resented the kickback through the middle stages.

General – On inquiry jockey K Cross (PUZZLED
PRINCESS) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under AR137(a) with
the specifics being that near the 900m she permitted her mount to shift inwards
when insufficiently clear resulting in OCTOMINT (P Crich) losing ground when restrained
to avoid heels. K Cross had her license to ride in races suspended for a
period of 2 NT meetings to expire after 17 December, 2017.
